Madison Ridout, Shawnee State University

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to implement strategies that increase student motivation and participation by teaching them how to ask questions that require higher-level thinking. For this study, students will complete a KWL chart, as well as a three-act task, which allows them to self-regulate their learning. Participants will engage in a classroom survey which will allow me analyze their overall thoughts and feelings towards the KWL chart and three-act task, I will also be able to determine if the participants were able to learn the intended math concepts by completing these two activities.
